How sold
on open bid, for the lowest interest rate obtainable.
PURPOSE OF ISSUE:
I unds derived from sale of bonds will be used as follows:
(a) Io construct a water filtration plant in Ashland Creek canyon with 4
million gallon per day capacity; Cost $470,000.00 W ill provide clear, palat­
able water at all times.
(b ) Io construct a new 1 million gallon covered reservoir in lower Ashland
canyon; cost $70,000.00. This, with present Crowson H ill reservoir will give
fire protection, plus equalization of pressure.
(c ) Io construct two new covered reservoirs of joo.ooo gallons capacity each
at intermediate elevations to reduce exccessive water pressures. Cost $40,000.00.
(d ) To purchase new 44" pipe to complete 44" pipe line to Crowson H ill
reservoir. Cost $40,000.00.
WHO WILL IX) THE WORK:
Contracts will be let to lowest bidder.
We’ve put in
2 '4 MILLION
TELEPHONES
since V-J Day
WHEN WILL WORK BE COMMENCED:
As soon as satisfactory bids can be obtained.
Other Statements Having Indirect
Bearing on Water Bond Issue
METERS:
Meters arc being installed as rapidly as possible. Entire city will be metered 100
per cent in year 1948. This, it is estimated, combined with reduction of pres­
sures, will result in saving of 40 per cent in consumption of water, by eliminating
waste.
1. W e h a d to b r e a k r e c o r d s . . . and we did. To­
day we’re serving over one-fourth more telephones
than at the w ar’s end — a net gain of three-quarters
of a million. And, since every day many custom ers
move, we actually had to install more than two
and a quarter million telephones to make this gain.
PURITY OF WATER:
Water tests have been made of Ashland’s water supply at regular intervals, reser­
voirs have been cleaned regularly. Purity lias been unquestioned except during
floods such as we have recently experienced. Filtration plant would give clear water
under every condition, floods or otherwise.
ELECTRIC POWER
No promises are being made, but possibilities arc being studied, with reference to
securing more electric power from city water supply.
ENGINEERS:
The projects to be constructed with the Water Bond Issue are put before the
people as a result of the recommendations of A. D. Harvey and Associates, Con-
su ting Engineers, and coincides with other engineering rcporti made to the
Council in previous years.
MEDFORD WATER:
There appears to he no possibility o i obtaining Medford water. Our share in a new
Medford pipe line would be beyond our means, and also, the pumping expense
would be a constant and never ending expense. Medford believes that it must
take care of the communities surrounding it before taking on a further load.
<
NEW LARGE*STORAGE RESERVOIR:
N ot recommended by engineers until city reaches population of to,000.
2 . C o m p le x s p l i c e s l i k e t h i s — thousands ol
them — went into the two million miles of wire
we’ve put in. And th a t’s only part of the story -
more than 200 new buildings or additions... com
plex new switching equipment in alm ost all our
buildings . . . these and other facilities are being
added in the face of sharply rising costs and tough
supply problems.
3 . W e’r e s t ill w o r k in g a g a in s t tim e. Orders
continue to flood in. To fill service needs we’re add­
ing facilities a t the rate of more than half a mil­
lion dollars a d a y -e v e ry day. A huge investment,
yes. But telephones have been going in aa never
before in the West. And as the system grows, your
telephone service becomes more valuable still
4. W h ere d o e s th e m o n ey
c o m e f r o m . . . millions of new
w o rk in g d o lla rs needed to ex
tend and improve service? Mil
lions m ust come, not from tele
phone bills, but from thousands
of people who put their savings
to work in the telephone busi
ness. To a ttra c t these working
dollars, we m ust pay a reasonable
am ount for th eir use. This r e
quires the sale of our services
a t fair and adequate prices.

and Council have found from their investigations. The Ques­
